Time for spelling day to be brought back up I think.

The one that gets my goat the now are the complete idiots that think a drawer is a draw.

It originally started off as top draw but now drawers are actually being called draws.

People need to learn not to use quotation marks when they actually need to use fucking brackets too

For example http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=394677

There's more than one person on here who does it

Brett that makes perfect sense.

I think that is also more colloquial (took me ages to find out how to spell that)

The point has never been about perfect everything, it was about things like draw that are becoming far too common now.

I think the medium of 'txt msg' type is destroying grammar & spelling.

People get that used to abbreviating everything they forget how to spell.

Granted, I use text message type when I'm writing a text. Otherwise I do my best to type correctly.

proof that people are getting stupid, its a downward spiral from here onwards. Also would like to add that anyone that claims to be "dyslexic ", it just a polite way of saying your retarded.

Phil, 90% of the people on here who claim to be dyslexic just use it as an excuse TBH.

Im crap at spelling, the one thing im no good at. But if your aware of it you do something about it, I mean ffs your on the computer for a start and have a spell check. And for that reason I will laugh at anyone writing like a spaz, and dont even get me started on people that spell things wrong to make themselves look ghetto an down with it on the street.

I had an email from the special learning department at Barnfield in Luton asking what help I needed with my dyslexia.

First off, they misread my form, as I had a photocopy and definately didn't say I was dyslexic. Second the email was shocking, full of spelling mistakes and even mispelt my name in two places. Why the fuck you can't just double check over your letters/emails/posts first I don't know.

Its shocking the amount of tards at uni, I work in the phyics department at loughborough uni an some of the students reports are written like their cat just jumped on the keyboard. Back in the day going to uni was an achievement, but now everyone is going including people that cant even spell their name right let alone other words.
